SECRETARY'S TASK FORCE ON COMPETITION IN THE U.S. DOMESTIC AIRLINE INDUSTRY. INDUSTRY AND ROUTE STRUCTURE. VOLUME 2. FEBRUARY 1990

The report contains the backup data used in a study which examines the airline industry and its route structure to assess the changes in service competition. To assess the state of competition, data for 1988 were analyzed and compared to data for 1979 and 1984. Data for 1979 largely reflect the state of the industry and route structure as put in during the era of regulation. Data for 1984 reflect the period when the number of competing carriers was the greatest, and when hub and spoke systems were not yet the industry norm. Tables included in the backup volume cover enplanements at air carrier airports, rankings of airports based on enplanements, didtribution of origin-destination passengerd by distance interval and market density, enplanements and percentage shares for major carriers at hubs of various sizes, points served by a single carrier, and other topics.
